Twenty minutes later.

Kupchak snapped his fingers and called to the waiter: "Bring the decanted red wine!" ”

"Okay, please wait."

After a while, the red wine was poured into the goblet, and Kupchak raised the glass in his hand: "Stephen, you're welcome to join, cheers!" ”

It was none other than Stephen Jackson who made a verbal agreement with them!

Stephen Jackson smiled, his eyes fixed on a television not far away, showing the China game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics.

On TV, the game had reached the second half of the second quarter, just as Lu Fei missed the shot after breaking through, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to the hands of Devin George on the sideline, Devin George hesitated, slowed down and handed the ball to Kobe.

Jackson thought to himself that if it was him, he would probably have killed all the way to the basket.

However, Kobe's performance made his eyes shine, Kobe did not pause at all after taking the ball, and threw off Lu Fei's defense with a turn, and then directly chose to stop and shoot in the face of Battier's close defense, and threw the ball out with his leaning back, and the basketball crossed a high arc and fell into the basket with a bang.

"What a beautiful shot!" Jackson grinned: "I'm looking forward to having teammates like this!" Cheers! ”

"Cheers!" Buzz also stood up.

He knows that after signing Stephen Jackson, this Lakers team has truly become a superteam that can shock the league, and the current team's playmaking guard is Mobley, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Jackson, center Yao Ming, and the arrival of Jackson allows Devin George to come to the bench, which also includes Atkins and this year's rookie Anthony Washington...... The only thing missing is the starting power forward position.

After signing Jackson, the team has little salary space left, so it can only seek a trade, and the object of the trade must be a power forward that other teams do not need to use, and it must be a power forward with good strength who can play the main team.

If you don't need it, you can still play the main team, which team has it?

Suddenly, he saw the SuperSonics on TV, and his mind suddenly remembered a player who was traded away by the SuperSonics last year and is now playing as a substitute for the Grizzlies - Rashad Lewis.

Lewis' contract expires next year, right?

At the Grizzlies power forward position, the starter is Pau Gasol, and there is a Swift on the bench in addition to Lewis, and Lewis will definitely have to leave next year to seek a big contract.

According to Jerry West's personality, this kind of player who lets go for nothing and doesn't make a penny must want to trade early.

Bas felt that if he brought it up, West would definitely agree.

As for next year...... Bath doesn't care about next year!

Next year, the Lakers will definitely renew Yao Ming's contract in advance, and the current lineup will definitely be dismantled, so it's useless to think about it so much now.

All they have to do is win the championship this year!

……

In the TV screen, there were three minutes left in the first half of the game, McMillan replaced Lu Fei and replaced him with a group of substitutes again, Lu Fei not only high-fived Roy when he got off the court to celebrate, but also ran to the Lakers to hug Anthony Washington.

The audience burst out laughing.

The SuperSonics are now leading 53:41, Lu Fei and Yao Ming are off the court at the same time, so that Zhang Weiping is no longer interested in the game on the field, except for the occasional Wang Zhizhi goal, they will also explain, and the rest of the time they discuss more Lu Fei's data.

Maybe Lu Fei didn't notice that just now he had a diagonal pass to assist Ray Allen to hit a three-point shot, and this assist also allowed Lu Fei to get his 10th assist before the end of the half.

The on-site MC also loudly announced: Lu Fei has scored a double-double of 12 points and 10 assists in less than two quarters!

Fans all over China are happy for Lu Fei, and Lu Fei's performance makes them extremely proud.

Yao Ming also played well, with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, very comprehensive statistics, four of which also reflected his role as a pivot in the Lakers.

His ability to dominate the ball is reflected in the system of Zen masters.

What makes Lakers fans even happier is that as Yao Ming's backup, Anthony Washington also showed his excellent strategy and defensive ability, just because of his excellent performance, Phil Jackson deliberately let him play a few more minutes on the court.

The first half was over quickly, and the SuperSonics still maintained a ten-point lead.

As soon as the players walked into the players' tunnel, reporters immediately surrounded them.

Reporter: "Lu Fei, how did you feel when you got two doubles in the first half?" ”

After all, this is domestic, and you can't do things that throw your face.

"It's fun." Lu Fei replied with a smile: "But for me, taking two pairs is commonplace." ”

Reporter: "How do you evaluate your opponent?" ”

"The Lakers have always been a strong team in the league, and this year Da Yao joined the Lakers, and they are more impactful, and I think they are very powerful." Lu Fei is already very experienced in dealing with this kind of interview.

Reporter: "What I'm asking is what do you think of Kobe?" ”

"Kobe Bryant is my favorite player, and I think he's on par with me except he's not as handsome as me." Lu Fei said lightly.

"I'm looking forward to your performance in the second half, thank you for your time!"

"You're welcome."

Lu Fei smiled slightly, and then walked back to the locker room.

Not far away, Kobe Bryant asked Yao Ming beside him: "What did Lu Fei say just now?" ”

He vaguely heard a reporter ask about his name.

Yao Ming pursed his lips and said with a smile: "He said that you are not as handsome as him!" ”

"He said I didn't play as handsome as he played?" Bryant frowned slightly.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about looks." Yao Ming explained.

Kobe Bryant's frowning brow loosened: "It doesn't matter what I look like, I don't care about looks, for me, basketball is the number one thing." ”

"......" Yao Ming.

Kobe Bryant's eyes looked at the score of 63:53 on the big screen, which was only ten points away, and the game had just begun.

……

"Drop!"

The referee blew the whistle, and Oku reluctantly raised his right hand to signal that it was his own defensive foul, which was already his fourth foul on Yao Ming.

"Yao Ming began to intensify his attack!" Zhang Weiping said: "Kobe Bryant obviously increased the connection with Yao Ming, and the number of passes to Yao Ming singles also increased, and Oku didn't notice it for a while, and was fouled by Yao Ming two times in a row, and the team's cumulative free throws also reached four, and then the foul will go to the free throw line." ”

"SuperSonics didn't expect to fall into passivity." Yu Jia added: "McMillan obviously didn't expect his team's only center to get into foul trouble, in fact, if this supersonic team has a weakness, it is that they are in the center position, although Wang Zhizhi also plays the No. 5 position, but as long as he plays with the starters, Wang Zhizhi generally plays the No. 4 position, so the traditional No. 5 position of this team is only Oku." ”

Lu Fei's brows also frowned slightly, and Oku was beaten down......

Kobe Bryant is trying to win?
